Abstract
This chapter addresses fundamental considerations when embarking on a language policy study. These include issues that arise during the conceptualization and implementation stages of inquiry such as the deliberate critical thinking process of selecting research methods as well as reflexive issues related to researcher positionality and ethics when investigating sociopolitical issues around language policy. The chapter offers guidance on how to develop a language policy study and then how to carry it out in a responsible manner. It also addresses, respectively, two fields of scholarship that have an especially salient connection to politics and policy: political theory and law. The chapter focuses on different methods for language policy investigation from a diverse range of epistemological and disciplinary traditions. The chapter is written as basic how‐to guides for planning and implementing studies.
